XF 1.5 How Can I Access/Edit $alert.template ?

[king8084]

Template 'account_alerts_popup' houses what's returned in the user's alerts message. Per that template, it's stored strictly in $alert.template

I'd like to strip out some of what's in what's presented. In particular, remove the hyperlink to the user who triggered the alert (imo, that's an accidental click and people just want to be taken to their alert).

Per the following thread, I've taken a look at Account.php, however, it's unclear from here where the return value in actionAlertsPopup() is generated. Pardon my lack of php knowledge --i'm learning.

Thanks.

The template varies by alert type and action, ie alert_post_like etc. Each of these templates would need to be edited individually to remove the link.

why troll here?

I'm not trolling. The alert templates are located in the exact same place you found 'account_alerts_popup':

welp, i've got egg on my face... i was under the impression that $alert.template pointed to somewhere in the core coding and clearly took your response the wrong way. apologies & thank you.

No worries

fyi, rather than editing all of the templates, i handled it via a single line of css:

.alertsPopup .listItemText a.username.subject {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Kick ass, I had no clue that was possible with CSS.
